Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium

Reil [10]3 years ago

It's a tough question as to whether light is a wave or a particle..

The statement is FALSE. Not all types of waves need a medium to propagate. Light can travel without a medium. 

Extra Information:
Light is a longitudinal wave, sound is transverse.
Longitudinal waves do not need a medium.
Transverse waves need a medium.
This is why, for example, in the vacuum of space, light travels from stars, but sound does not.

Electric Field of Ring of Charge A ring shaped charge has a radius of 0.250 meters and bears a total charge of +5.00 C What is t
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

6.44 × 10^10 N/C

Explanation:

Electric field due to the ring on its axis is given by

E = K q r / (r^2 + x^2)^3/2

Where r be the radius of ring and x be the distance of point from the centre of ring and q be the charge on ring.

r = 0.25 m, x = 0.5 m, q = 5 C

K = 9 × 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

E = 9 × 10^9 × 5 × 0.25 / (0.0625 + 0.25)^3/2

E = 6.44 × 10^10 N/C

A vehicle starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5 m/s2 within 2
likoan [24]

Answer:

When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.

The formula is,

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:

a = (v-u) \ t

The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.

The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2

We are going to make an imaginary engine using water. We are going to heat 100 grams of water to 120 C from its initial temperat
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The work done by this engine is 800 cal

Explanation:

Given:

100 g of water

120°C final temperature

22°C initial temperature

30°C is the temperature of condensed steam

Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C

Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C

Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?

First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:

Q_{1} =m_{w} C_{w} (100-22)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)

Here, mw is the mass of water

Q_{1} =(100*1*78)+(100*540)+(100*0.48*20)=62760cal

Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:

Q_{2} =m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{w}(100-30)=(100*0.48*20)+(100*540)+(100*1*70)=61960cal

The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:

W=Q_{1}-Q_{2}=62760-61960=800cal

Is it possible for an object to be going 100 miles per hour but have a velocity of zero?
Lesechka [4]
It is possible for on object to be going at 100 miles per hour, but still have a velocity. This is because the object going at 100 miles per hour has speed, which is a scalar quantity, which is defined by only magnitude, but the velocity of the object can be 0, since velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by both magnitude and direction.

Since this object only has magnitude and no direction (which is not given), then the velocity can be 0
